Times Change

Mithras waited for the meeting to disperse before seeking out his old friend. The earthen female was waiting for him at the joining point of both of his lands and the free realm beyond. She seemed... occupied. Mentally, that is, because she wasn't doing much at all besides sitting there. Mithras approached warily, still worried he was going to get yelled at. He'd only done what had to be done, and he was sorry that it hadn't been able to be done by their guidelines. He really did love and respect their lives, but that wasn't what he needed right now. He sighed. "Irie. You look good. How was the trip up?" He was probably damning himself by giving her an opportunity to speak, but who could resist a little small talk? Honestly, he just hoped it would make her laugh. "Like the view?" The smile he gave her was sheepish, obviously still waiting for him to tear into him. He owed it to her to let her vent on him anyways, she'd earned it. She'd taught him a lot and helped it when he needed it most. The astral man would always count her among his closest friends.
